Even though we're back in Davis, the South is still with me. In the week I was there I probably ate three or four dozen hush puppies - golden fried nuggets of delectable cornmeal. Not very authentic, but I added a little spice (cayenne), a bit more flavor (minced onion) and some extra moisture (creamed corn). Enjoy hush puppies plain, with ketchup and hot sauce, tartar sauce or slathered in butter.

Ingredients
- About 2 cups canola oil, for frying
- 1 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk (mix a scant cup of milk with 1 Tbsp white vinegar and let sit 15 minutes to make your own)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup onion, minced
- 1/4 cup creamed corn
Preparation
- In a medium pot, heat canola oil over medium heat until 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients - cornmeal, flour, salt, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne, baking powder and baking soda.
- In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients - buttermilk, eggs, onion and creamed corn. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, mix well. Refrigerate the batter for 15 minutes so the cornmeal can absorb the moisture.
- When oil is hot, drop 1/2 Tbsp-fuls into the the oil close to the surface taking care not to splash the oil. Fry for about 3 minutes, moving and turning the puppies while frying. Pull out with tongs and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.
